Engineers and science fiction writers have proposed designing space stations in the shape of a rotating wheel or ring, which wou

ld allow astronauts to experience a sort of artificial gravity when walking along the inner wall of the station's outer rim.1. Imagine one such station with a diameter of 110 m, where the apparent gravity is 2.70 m/s2 at the outer rim. How fast is the station rotating in revolutions per minute?2. How fast would the space station have to rotate, in revolutions per minute, for the artificial gravity that is produced to equal that at the surface of the Earth, 9.80 m/s2?

Answer:

a. The station is rotating at 1.496 \frac{rev}{min}

b. the rotation needed is 2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}

Explanation:

We know that the centripetal acceleration is

a_{c}= \omega ^2 r

where \omega is the rotational speed and r is the radius. As the centripetal acceleration is feel like an centrifugal acceleration in the rotating frame of reference (be careful, as the rotating frame of reference is <u>NOT INERTIAL,</u> the centrifugal force is a fictitious force, the real force is the centripetal).

<h3>a. </h3>

The rotational speed  is :

2.7 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110  \ m

\omega ^2 = \frac{2.7 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}

\omega  = \sqrt{ 0.02454 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }

\omega  = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s}

Knowing that there are 2\pi \ rad in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

\omega  = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s}  \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}

\omega  = 1.496 \frac{rev}{min}

<h3>b. </h3>

The rotational speed needed is :

9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110  \ m

\omega ^2 = \frac{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}

\omega  = \sqrt{ 0.08909 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }

\omega  = 0.2985 \frac{rad}{s}

Knowing that there are 2\pi \ rad in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

\omega  = 0.2985 \frac{rev}{min}  \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}

\omega  = 2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}

Answer:

1)The station is rotating at 2.11 revolutions per minute

2) The space station will have to rotate at as peed of 4.03 revolutions per minute, for the artificial gravity to equal that at the surface of earth (9.8 m/s²)

Explanation:

1)

a_{c}=ω²r = ω²d/2

Here,

a_{c}=2.7 m/s²

d = 110 m

therefore,

ω² = (2.7 m/s²)(2)/(110 m)

ω = √0.049 rad/s²

ω = 0.2216 rad/s

To convert into rev/min

ω = (0.2216 rad/s)(1 rev/2π rad)(60 s/ 1min)

<u>ω = 2.11 rev/min</u>

2)

Here,

a_{c}=g=9.8 m/s²

d = 110 m

therefore,

ω² = (9.8 m/s²)(2)/(110 m)

ω = √0.178 rad/s²

ω = 0.4221 rad/s

To convert into rev/min

ω = (0.4221 rad/s)(1 rev/2π rad)(60 s/ 1min)

<u>ω = 4.03 rev/min</u>

What is the 4th dimension? I have heard that it's time, it's a from of saying characteristic. I don't know I need help on this,
sashaice [31]

If you want to tell a friend about a fish you caught or a tree you cut down,
you're going to tell him WHERE you were ... its position in space, 3 numbers,
'x', 'y', and 'z' ... and also WHEN you were ... its position in time, one more
number. 

Dimensions are numbers used to describe the location of a point, and the
difference in location between two points.  With four numbers, you can exactly
describe the location of anything, and its distance from any other thing, in
space and time.

What is the sum of 9260 and 3240?
Ket [755]
The sum is the result of adding 9260 and 3240 together. Each number can be broken down into constituent parts in order to make addition easier. Each place in the number represents its value, so a 2 in the hundreds place represents 200.
You can separate numbers out this way to make it easier to add them. 9260 can be broken down into 9000+200+60 while 3240 is 3000+200+40. You can then add these six numbers together.

60+40 = 100
200+200 = 400
9000+3000 = 12000

Then add your three partial results together to receive the final answer:

12000+400+100 = 12500

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

shirt is little attached to the body, it can come off and fly away

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.

In this case, when a negative charge is placed on it, both the inventor and the shirt are charged, therefore there is a repulsive force, also there is an attraction between the positive charge of the roof attracts the negative charge, such as the shirt. of weak the two forces not greater than the resistance of the walk.

As the shirt is little attached to the body, it can come off and fly away
